Presentation

At the beginning of their 2nd year, engineering students can choose a curriculum provided by the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Department (IMI) in order to learn how to handle modelling, computation, optimization, and design tools.

Four options

Numerical analysis

Vision and learning

Optimization

Quantitative finance

APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR FURTHER INTEGRATED TRAINING

Numerical analysis option

Quantitative finance option

Vision and learning option

Optimization option

Alongside the engineering degree, students can obtain a Masters in research

Applied mathematics in finance (MAF)

Modelling, Analysis, Simulation (MAS)

Mathematics, Vision, Learning (MVA)

Parisian Masters in Operational Research - optimization option (MPRO)

Programs

From the second year onwards, at the beginning of the Masters or integrated further training program, engineering courses continue within a faculty department.

Program structure

The programs provided by the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Department include compulsory classes, exposure weeks, and elective courses.

The compulsory classes are divided into three groups

IMI classes: the component here is mathematical tools and their applications. What will set you apart from engineers from different curricula or schools will be this capacity to innovate through familiarity with mathematical tools that are perceived as difficult (but not by our students!).

The classes depend on the program chosen, which will familiarize you with your chosen field of application and decide the nature of your professional profile and therefore potential employment opportunities.

“Mix and match” programs are possible if they form part of a third-year project approved by the School

The School runs exposure weeks with contributions from experts, professionals, and researchers in the fields of finance, Big Data, logistics, and modelling. Trips and visits to companies are also organized. A cycle of lectures where some of France’s most innovative companies present their technical achievements gives students an opportunity to measure the impact of these techniques in the industrial and banking landscape.A choice of optional courses delivered by the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Department or other departments helps you combine your knowledge of an area of application with crosscutting tools.

The programs in each option

Two-year Masters program

Numerical analysis

Vision and learning

Optimization

Quantitative finance

Customized program

The integrated additional program (FCI) for civilian polytechniciens and normaliens

Numerical analysis - FCI

Vision and learning - FCI

Optimization - FCI

Quantitative finance - FCI

Customized program

The integrated additional program (FCI) for military engineers

The latter group follows the same program as its civilian counterpart, adapted to reflect the specific needs of the military.
